Adding a New User Role Using the WordPress User Role Editor

The first step in adding a new user role in WooCommerce is to add the new user role using the WordPress User Role Editor. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Log in to your WordPress site as an administrator.
  • In the left-hand sidebar, hover over Users and then click on All Users.
PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to manage your online store, it is important to know how to add user roles. This can be done in the WordPress admin area under Users > Add New Role.

When adding a new user role, you will need to select the capabilities that you want the role to have. For example, if you want the role to be able to manage products, you would need to check the box next to the ‘manage_products’ capability.

It is important to be careful when adding new user roles, as they can have a significant impact on your site’s security. Make sure that you understand what each capability does before assigning it to a role.

  • Click on the Add New button at the top of the screen.
  • Enter a username and email address for the new user.
  • In the dropdown menu labeled Role, select the new user role that you want to add.
  • Click on the Add New User button to save your changes.
